I’m based in California and focus mainly on investing and wholesaling, working with distressed property owners and connecting motivated sellers with serious buyers.

A single family has a wider audience (investor or home buyer) but 2-4 units still move.

Of course owning them outright is even better but its weird to me that this would be a turn-off to buyers.

Yes now times are changing, but its about what the asset is worth and what the buyer is willing to pay and seller is willing to sell out.

However in terms of questioning the economy, I would say your job, investment diversification and which side of REI your on, Owner/buyer.  

 You as the buyer are responsible for getting repair estimates, making decisions on inspection-related issues, and doing your own due diligence.

There are still landlord buyers paying 75-80% ARV though.

I am a new wholesaler located in the Fredericksburg, VA community and I am looking to begin building my buyers list.

Here in WA, I would need the buyer to sign a Buyer Broker Services Agreement in order to submit an offer and in that offer, make the request for commission to be paid by the seller...or the buyer if they are capable and willing.

Over the last few years, I’ve worked heavily with househackers and small multifamily buyers.
